Sheriff's deputies said a man with a white cloth covering his face entered the store and demanded money from the clerk as he brandished a knife.

A customer then grabbed a wine bottle to confront the assailant. Video surveillance shows the customer kicked the knife from the robber's hand.

The robber then ran from the store on Land Street and South Orange Avenue. He left with an undetermined amount of money, according to sheriff's officials.

The good Samaritan, the clerk and the other customers were not hurt, but officials said they don't recommend confronting an armed person.

"Everyone knows or has an idea of their own capabilities; what you don't know is the capability of the other person," said Orange County Sheriff's Office spokesperson Jeff Williamson. "The person with the gun or knife could be more skilled than you."

Officials said they believe the robber targeted the same 7-Eleven store nine days ago and think they might be responsible for other convenience store robberies.
